Earlier this year we caught word that the EU might force universal cell phone chargers onto manufacturers. "Force" is a little rough...more like "require them to be environmentally responsible and simply logical and quit manufacturing planned obsolescence and exclusivity into piles of plastic and wires."

Canada appears to be one of the first countries to literally “see the light.”
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has confirmed that it will be investigating the role of vitamin D in protection against swine flu.
The agency started a study last year on the role of vitamin D in severe seasonal influenza, which it said it will now adapt to the H1N1 swine flu virus.

On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her breast cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.
Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle, which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So pl…

Comments Due September 28th
Since the 1930s we've been paying farmers to produce corn, wheat, rice, and cotton. What if instead we paid farmers for producing healthier soil, cleaner water, climate change mitigation and greater bio-diversity? That's the "Big Idea" behind the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). Pay farmers for producing environmental outcomes that contribute to the public good.
Sustainable and organic farming advocates have an important - but short - opportunity to help sha…

(This is a great article, suggested read by Nina Simons.)
The era of male dominance is coming to an end.
Seriously.
For years, the world has been witnessing a quiet but monumental shift of power from men to women. Today, the Great Recession has turned what was an evolutionary shift into a revolutionary one.
